Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this stylish chalet sitting behind the sand dunes at the beautiful beach at Croyde. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, this is the ideal retreat for families or groups of friends in search of some seaside fun in North Devon. During the day, take a stroll along the sand, or head into the village to sample the treats on offer in its pretty thatched tearooms. In the evening, come home to the chalet to share a bottle of wine with your loved ones around the wood burner in the living room.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a bright and spacious open-plan living/kitchen/dining area with picture windows that perfectly showcase the breathtaking country views. Slip onto a sofa and make yourself at home before heading to the kitchen area to whip up some dinner for your nearest and dearest. You’ll find everything you need to let your inner-chef to shine. Gather everyone together to eat in the chic dining area, or head outside into the pretty garden to dine alfresco. After dinner, take a stroll along the beach, or head to the living area to warm your toes by the wood burner. At the end of the day, you’ll find three beautifully-decorated bedrooms to choose from.

Grab your surfboard and enjoy a fabulous day on the water at Croyde Beach (0.5 miles), which boasts one of the country’s premier surfing breaks. Alternatively, get the gang together for a fun-filled day at Putsborough Sands (1.5 miles). Take a dip in the sea, go rock-pooling or try your hand at stand-up paddle-boarding. Or go for a nature hike at Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve (4.5 miles). Keep your eyes peeled for foxes and deer.

Lovely holiday home which was very comfortable and an ideal location to both the centre of Croyde and the beach. Owner was very friendly and provided a quick response when we had an issue with the television which was quickly resolved. And the hamper was a nice surprise. It took all week to eat all the contents.

We had a perfect stay. The place was spotless and really comfortable. The hamper was a lovely touch. Location wise, you couldnt get any better. I have always loved Croyde so to stay somewhere so lovely in the centre of it all was perfect. Thank you to our hosts.

Fabulous location and lovely cottage for our winter getaway. The welcome hamper was phenomenal and made the trip extra special. We loved being able to walk the dog down to the beach within a couple of minutes and then return to this lovely cosy cottage for a cuppa. Denis was a very helpful host too and appreciated him checking everything was ok. WeRead more can heartily recommend :-) Hide

A lovely holiday home in a peaceful location, only a short walk to the beach and to the pubs, shops and eateries in the village. A nice network of walking paths behind the chalet kept my dog so happy he did not want to go home at the end of the week.

Lovely character full chalet on a quiet cul-de-sac, a 5 minute walk away from the beach or village. Secure hedge and fence to keep toddlers or dogs from exploring too much. A double, twin and bunks would b perfect for a young family but prob not 6 adults. We loved it and a lovely hamper of goodies didn't help the diet.... definitely would come back

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location. The welcome basket of goodies was wonderful and also milk and clotted cream was much appreciated. It's easy to walk to the beach from the cottage only 5 or 10 mins at a gentle pace. There's a pub and fish and chip shop within easy walking distance too. We had a great week and would definitely book again.
